Designing or specifying precast concrete over insitu is becoming more popular. As such Benzini has completed many successful precast seating projects over the past years. Complex formwork, designer mixes / aggregates and finishes are what we specialise in.

ADVANTAGES TO PRECASTING

Precast is manufactured in a controlled casting environment it is easier to control the formwork, mix, placement, and curing

​ Shop drawing process eliminates on-site surprises

Quality product - Off-site manufacture means high quality

Weather is eliminated as a factor-you can cast in any weather and get the same results, which allows you to perfect mixes and methods

Many surface finishes, shapes and patterns available

Less onsite labour is required

On site, precast can be installed to fit precisely into the program facilitating scheduling.

Repeatability-it's easy to make many copies of the same precast product; by maximizing repetition, you can get plenty of value from a mould and a set-up

Accelerated curing, by heating the precast parts, greatly increases strength gain, reducing the time between casting the part and putting it into service
